Alabama's Tagovailoa, Jeudy, Quinnen Williams capture awards

Tagovailoa was named winner of the Walter Camp Award, given annually to the
top player in college football. Jeudy took home the Biletnikoff Award,
signifying the best receiver. And Quinnen Williams was honored with the
Outland Trophy, given to the nation's best interior lineman.

Tagovailoa was selected over four other finalists: quarterbacks Will Grier of
West Virginia, Gardner Minshew of Washington State and Kyler Murray of
Oklahoma, and Kentucky linebacker Josh Allen.

The past five Walter Camp winners have gone on to win the Heisman Trophy,
which will be awarded Saturday. Tagovailoa, Murray and Ohio State quarterback
Dwayne Haskins are the finalists.

A sophomore, Tagovailoa has thrown 37 touchdown passes and been intercepted
four times for the Crimson Tide, who are undefeated and the No. 1 seed in the
College Football Playoff.

Tagovailoa was announced as the award winner during the Home Depot College
Football Awards show held at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

After undergoing left ankle surgery earlier this week, following an injury
sustained last weekend in the Southeastern Conference championship game,
Alabama flew him to Atlanta via private plane. He was accompanied by Jeff
Allen, the school's associate athletic director for sports medicine, who
brought along rehab equipment, ESPN reported. They will take the plane to the
New York City area on Friday to attend the Heisman Trophy festivities.

Earlier this week, coach Nick Saban said his quarterback should be able to
practice again in two weeks. The Tide will meet Oklahoma on Dec. 29 in one
playoff semifinal, and the quarterback wouldn't commit to a recovery time.

"I couldn't put a timetable on this," Tagovailoa told ESPN on Thursday. "I'm
just looking at trying to get better every day, and hopefully it feels a lot
better leading up to the game."

For his award, Jeudy bested finalists Andy Isabella of Massachusetts and Tylan
Wallace of Oklahoma State.

"I only dreamed about something like this," Jeudy said.

On the season, the sophomore has 59 catches for 1,103 yards and 12 touchdowns.
